Chassis Maintenance
Adjusting the Cargo-Bed
Latches
If the cargo-bed latch is out of adjustment, the cargo
bed vibrates up and down as you drive the machine.
You can adjust the latch posts to make the latches
hold the cargo bed snugly to the chassis.

Verify that the cargo bed is latching.
Note:
If the cargo bed does not latch, the

Cleaning
Washing the Machine
Wash the machine as needed. Use water alone or
with a mild detergent. You may use a rag when
washing the machine; however, the hood will lose
some of its luster.
Important:
Pressurized water is not
recommended when washing the machine. It may
damage the electrical system, loosen important
decals, or wash away necessary grease at friction
points. Avoid excessive use of water, especially
near the control panel, motor, motor controller,
charger, back of the dashboard, and batteries.
